There are however, two sides of guilt. There is first, what is called false-guilt. False-guilt is a feeling of uneasiness, although the person has done nothing wrong. This is another way of Satan playing games with our emotional state.

The second is true-guilt. True-guilt is the emotional state of feeling guilty because we have tried to cheat life in some form or fashion. This results in feeling guilty and rightfully so.

Consider two examples from the Bible to further explain guilt in our lives. The first example is King David. David made a mess of his life and the lives of others when he tried to cheat life by having an illicit affair with a married woman. The mess that David brought forth uncontrollable grief and regret, and a life consumed with guilt.
